Tangents with a Side of Literature

LIL #4: Plums?! (This Is Just To Say, William Carlos Williams)

We’re real sorry this isn’t about Gatsby, that’ll be out next Monday! We battled finals, illness, and Spring Break. Luckily, we have this bonus episode on William Carlos Williams’s poem, “This Is Just To Say.” Abby is incredibly confused as to how HR has never had a plum. Unfortunately, she can’t try one yet, they’re hecka out of season.
